@dwylafn asked from Kayli: “I thought you of all people would be different.” disappointment starters | accepting

Alistair's expression stayed hard, angry, though Kayli's words surprised him. What it drove instead wasn't sympathy or regret but a sneer of disbelief. Perhaps he would feel more sympathy later, when the sting of discovery had worn off, but for now - "I don't know what you expected of me," he replied. his voice grew louder as the incredulity sank in deeper. "how you expected that i might react to this?"

His hands pulled up to do… something, anything so that his body was moving instead of his mind flashing through everything he couldn't quite process, and he thumped them against his chest as he turned to her and asked honestly. "What is it you think of me then, truly? That I would just accept, that I might turn an blind eye?"

This time his hands found his hair and he clutched at it and tugged lightly in his frustration. "Which is it then that you must think I am? That I am too naive, that I am too kind, or that I am too stupid to know better? It must be one of them for you to think that I might not feel the same as others!"

starter call! - @dwylafn

"How did you find me?" Atreion crossed their arms over their chest, almost pouting. There were cobwebs in their hair, and their uniform was covered in dust. "If that damned busybody Giselle is sending for me again, you can tell her to-- pray for someone else!"

"Not quite enough of it, one might say," Inara supplemented with a slow raise of her eyebrow at her companion.

And now there are... complications. As Inara's eyes crawl over the other, she wonders if anything truly would have changed this moment. Only the Maker knows, really.

"I'm not mad. We all have our secrets," she clarifies, shifting slightly as her arms cross over her chest. "But I think you might need to share a little more than you planned, if we're going to make this one a happy ending."

[ 🕊️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen did they feel the safest ? //for Nero

that's a complicated question. nero isn't certain he has ever felt 100% safe.

though he did have a certain kind of security in knowing what to expect as a slave, he obviously never felt safe, as he was considered property that his master could do whatever he wanted to.

meanwhile, his life as a free individual is definitely more dangerous and more full of peril as he is actively seeking out battle zones and putting himself in risky situations, but he definitely feels like he has more control, and more importantly he has his personhood. he gets to meet whatever dangers come at him on his own terms. better to die on your feet than to live on your knees, etc etc.

hypothetically, he would feel physically safest in a tactically advantageous location he has secured himself, with a comrade or LI that he trusts watching his back. emotional safety is much harder for him to achieve, and comes later and only in certain situations.
